History

The Gazette was founded in 1883.[1] At the time of its launch, the city of Heppner had a population of 370; the newspaper was started with contributions from a number of citizens.[2]

Vawter Crawford bought the paper in 1910, and two years later purchased the Heppner Times, which had been founded in 1897, and merged the two papers. It was a consistently Republican newspaper.[3] Archives from 1951 through 1976, as well as many pages from its predecessor newspapers, are available through the Oregon Digital Newspaper Program.[4][5]

Today, the newspaper has a circulation of about 1,883 and is owned by David Sykes.[6]
